The fraternity was
founded in 1925 by Frank Reed Horton on the campus of Lafayette College
in Easton, Pennsylvania. Since the charter of that first chapter, Alpha
Phi Omega has grown into the largest fraternity in the nation. There
are chapters at almost all major universities including some international
chapters at colleges across the globe.

The Iota Mu Chapter
of Alpha Phi Omega was chartered at the University of South Carolina
on January 19, 1951. Since then, Iota Mu has been a very active chapter,
providing the campus, community, and brotherhood a solid foundation
of service. The success of our service programs is dependent upon our
individual members, who strive to uphold the fraternity's cardinal principles
of Leadership,
Friendship,
and Service.
